I was wondering what everyone else was doing with there water lines running into there stock TB after buying a SMIM. As the JMF moves the TB out and over and the water inlets are twisted toward the front of the TB I see that extra lines will be needed but I was wondering about someones else water line mounting. I thought of taking and cutting the two small pipes off before the bend and have a straight fitting and run my lines.
 
After the install of my SMIM, I simply bought a couple feet of hose and made new, longer lines.

I only ran that for a couple hundred miles though. I've since blocked off the FIAV, so no more water lines.

Looks like that is the only thing I can do but I am really trying to avoid have extra hose than needed and as I have a 90 TB I dont think I am able to block off the FIAV...or can I?

I've never owned a '90 TB before, but I don't see why the FIAV block-off process would be any different.
